It entered into force as an international treaty on 3 September 1981 after the twentieth country had ratified it. By the tenth anniversary of the Convention in 1989, almost one hundred nations had agreed to be bound by its provisions. Botswana acceded to the Convention on 13 August 1996. Among the international human rights treaties, the Convention takes an important place in bringing the human rights of the female half of humanity into focus. The spirit of the Convention, which Botswana shares, is rooted in the goals of the United Nations which includes reaffirming faith in the fundamental human rights, dignity, and in the equal rights of men and women. The Convention has spelt out the meaning of equality and how it can be achieved. In essence the Convention has established not only an international bill of rights for women, but also an agenda for action that guarantees the enjoyment of those rights. This report provides information on how Botswana translated its commitment to the implementation of the Convention, through reporting on specific actions taken since accession to the Convention. This report combines the initial, first, second and third periodical reports. The report has summarised the actions taken by Botswana in collaboration with other stakeholders such as civil society organisations, development partners and the private sector institutions. It is presented in four sections covering 16 articles of the Convention. An Executive Summary of the report is also provided. The report has outlined the main achievements as well as areas that still 10 CEDAW/C/BOT/3 need to be addressed to achieve gender equality. The activities geared towards the realization of the goals of the Convention are implemented within a national framework that promotes community consciousness, peace, security, social justice, democracy, accountability, ethical behaviour, national and community leadership. The compilation of this report was coordinated by the Women’s Affairs Department (WAD), Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). A multi-sectoral Drafting Committee was constituted with representatives from WAD, The Attorney General’s Office, the Office of the President, civil society organisations, and UNDP. Technical assistance was provided by Oakwood and Associates Consultants. During the drafting process a participatory and consultative approach was adopted to ensure direct involvement of all stakeholders. Extensive consultations were held with all the major key stakeholders drawn from Government, Civil Society, Development Partners, and the private sector. Additional information was obtained through literature review consisting mainly of stakeholder reports, legal statutes situation analysis, evaluation and assessment reports, and from the Department of Administration of Justice and the National Assembly. The draft report was presented to a multi-sectoral stakeholders’ workshop that reviewed it and made additional suggestions. The final draft was presented to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Treaties, Conventions, and Protocols responsible for, among others; reviewing all draft reports to the United Nations. The Committee is coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Executive Summary 11 CEDAW/C/BOT/3 The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was formally adopted by United Nations General Assembly on 18 December 1979. It entered into force as an international treaty on 3 September 1981. Botswana acceded to the Convention on 13 August 1996 and has since deposited instruments of accession to the Optional Protocol. This combines initial, first, second and third national periodical reports on the implementation of CEDAW. The report is presented in four parts, preceded by an Executive Summary and a general introduction.

  • Managing Olympic Sport Organisations
    Managing Olympic Sport Organisations MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Editor Leigh Robinson 002 FOREWORD MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Foreword reinforce NOC structures and global management capacities, Olympic Solidarity offers educational training opportunities such as the Advanced Sport Management Courses (ASMC), of which Managing Olympic Sport Organisations is the base textbook. Through these courses, Olympic Solidarity supports the concept of a learning community in which NOCs’ main stakeholders – athletes, coaches, managers – learn from each other and interact in line with the objectives and interests of the Olympic Movement. Sport needs the expertise of well-educated and dedicated sports managers. This is why I encourage all those who delve into Managing Olympic Sport Organisations to study each of the topics with a view to strengthening the role of the Olympic Movement – and especially the role of the NOCs and their affiliated members. Everyone in the Olympic Movement has a shared responsibility to be as fully prepared as possible to shape the future of sport and build solidarity within our communities and around the world. This is even more true today. As this updated 003 version of Managing Olympic Sport Organisations goes to print, the world is in the midst of an unprecedented global crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic. The uncertain times we are going More than ever before, sport is an essential part of through are a stark reminder that we need symbols our modern, diverse society – which is more global of hope and inspiration more than ever.

Due to budgetary constraints and relative internal political stability, Botswana had relied on a small paramilitary force called the Police Mobile Unit (PMU) since the early 1960s for all defence – related issues. By the late 1970s, the sharp escalation of the struggle for Zimbabwe resulted in cross – border incursions by Rhodesian security forces who were pursuing armed freedom fighters.

  • Developing Batswana Coaches' Competencies Through The
    A Special Issue on Botswana Notes and Records’ Golden Jubilee Volume in Honour of Sir Ketumile Masire Developing Batswana Coaches’ Competencies Through the LifeMatters Programme: Teaching Mental Skills Through Games Stephanie J Hanrahan∗ and Tshepang Tshube§ Abstract This study aims to determine if participating in a train-the-trainer version of LifeMatters, a programme combining games and mental skills, influenced the competence, confidence, connections, character, or caring (5 Cs) of sports (e.g. football, athletics, basketball) teachers/coaches in Botswana. Coaches’ perceptions of the programme were also investigated. Coaches (50 males, 12 females, 1 unspecified) in 2015 participated in intensive LifeMatters training. Ages ranged from 24 to 62 (M = 37.63). They completed a pre and post questionnaire measuring the 5 Cs, and a qualitative programme evaluation. Coaches showed significant increases in competence, confidence, and connection. Content analysis classified the 434 qualitative data units obtained from the evaluation of the programme. Skills most frequently mentioned were goal setting, self-confidence, imagery, and relaxation. Additional comments related to beliefs that the programme should be taught throughout Botswana. The coaches felt that LifeMatters was a valuable programme that had a positive influence on their coaching as well as their own lives. Introduction Coach education through workshops, conferences, and a variety of courses plays a fundamental role in coaches’ training and their role in positive youth development. It is important for coaches to be able to engage in a variety of learning experiences, although generally they are not satisfied with didactic and classroom-oriented coach education (Mesquita et al. 2014). South African coaches have indicated that in addition to physical training techniques, they want to learn more about psychological factors such as motivational techniques (Kubayi et al.

  • Television in Botswana: Development and Policy Perspectives
    Television in Botswana: Development and Policy Perspectives Seamogano Mosanako Master of Arts, Journalism (International), University of Westminster (London), 2004 Bachelor of Social Work, University of Botswana, 1996 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Journalism and Communication 1 Abstract Although numerous scholars across the world have sought to explore the relevance of television for development purposes in various national settings, there is a dearth of literature on the use of television for development in the Botswana context. A national television service, Botswana Television (Btv) was introduced in 2000 by the Botswana Government. However, Btv’s role in national development has received limited research attention. This study examines the role of television in national development in Botswana. In addition, the study explores the factors that influence the performance of television in a developing country context, with a view to suggest issues for consideration in media policy in Botswana to improve the performance of the Btv. This analysis of Btv was conducted through a qualitative research methodology that comprised document analysis, schedule analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. This combination of methods provides data that contributes to a more holistic knowledge of media and development in Botswana. Various documents about Btv and media in Botswana were reviewed to establish the media policy issues relating to television broadcasting in Botswana. The schedule analysis, which was a unique method applied in this study, involved reviewing samples of Btv schedules from 2010 and 2011 to examine Btv’s program output, specifically, the content related to Botswana’s national development priorities.

However, over the years, individuals and the Government at large have often expressed dissatisfaction regarding the development and promotion of sport as well as the low level and standard of performance of the various national teams representing the country in international competitions. Several reasons have been suggested for this unsatisfactory performance. One of these is lack of a National Sport Policy. The development of a National Sport Policy is necessary since it demonstrates a declaration by the Government to awaken sports consciousness in the entire citizenry and ensure mass and elite participation in sports for the attainment of physical, mental, social and moral development of the people.
